Ingredients
Instructions

- Cut the meat diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
- Coat a large nonstick skillet with vegetable cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until hot.
- Add half of the pork slices and cook for 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
- Remove the cooked pork from the skillet, drain, and keep warm.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining pork slices.
- Wipe any drippings from the skillet.
- In a small bowl, combine peach nectar, minced ginger, pepper, and water; bring to a simmer.
- Add sliced peaches, peach nectar mixture, white wine, and mango chutney to the skillet.
- Mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry, then add to the skillet to thicken the sauce.
- Return the pork to the skillet, coat with the sauce, and heat through.
- Serve the pork medallions with the sauce, garnished with green onion curls if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal texture, partially freeze the pork tenderloin before slicing to make cutting easier. If you can't find peach nectar, orange juice can be a good substitute, although it will change the flavor profile slightly. For added depth, consider using fresh ginger instead of minced. Adjust the amount of mango chutney based on your sweetness preference—more for a sweeter dish or less for a tangy finish.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Peachy Pork Medallions over a bed of fluffy rice or alongside roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also pair wonderfully with a fresh salad, like Tangy Stuffed Pepper Salad, to balance the flavors. For a delightful touch, garnish with green onion curls just before serving for added color and crunch.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the pork medallions gently in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or stock to keep them moist. Alternatively, you can microwave them in short intervals, covered, until heated through.
